In addressing the three hundred delegates
at the Christian Workers Convention. the Rev.
DR.. JOHN H. DENIsoN OF Williams College
made some surprising statements. This dis
tinGuished orthodox Protestant clergyman
spoke from his own knowledge Of the prepara-
tory training Of the clergy. After referring to
the separation made In theological seminaries
between practice and theory. he publicly de-
clared that "irrovorence and practical athe-
ism are often the result OF three years
In theological seminary" This IL q
fearful indictment, especially whom made by
q man with such opportunities for observa-
ton as tho Rev. DR.. DENIsoN. Surely We
must be allowed to suppose that these praoti-
cal atheists Of the theological seminaries have
the business sense TO keep out Of the pulpit
after they are graduated as theologians; but
the Rev. DR.. DEN1soN declared that want OF
business sense is characteristic Of almost every
minister" This would be harsh language even
from Col ROBERT @. INaEBsoLL himself: and
we presume that both the theological students
and the ministers will now mako things warm
for the Rev. DR.. DEN1soN Of Williams College.

The notion Of Government railroad is .
crazy idea from the view of political econ

cause it offers an opportunity to give

railway mileage within the next fifty years;
and only those who think they can derive .
profit from new roads will be asked
to contribute to the work. But II
the community be not let alone, rail-

and the roads which we now possess will be
used as political enginery to demoralize and
destroy republican institutions. Make the

Dickinson.

DICKINSON, OAK, May II. -[Special.]- J.
This season opens auspiciously in the west
Missouri country. The seeding of small
grains may be said to be over. In many
cases the fields of wheat and oats are quite
green with healthy color, showing vigor-
Gus growth. Farmers are now turning their
attention to the planting of potatoes, corn
and garden stuffs generally. The breadth
seeded is much greater than ever before
and the soil is in fine condition.
The New England colony, south Of this,
in Hettinger county, is spreading itself
over the land, surveying and making selec-
tions for homes. They are anxiously
awaiting their car loads Of lumber with
which to commence permanent improve
ments in their proposed country town,
New England City, near the Cannon Ball
river. New settlers, outside OF any colony
arrangements, are coming in quietly al
most every day, generally pretty well
''fixed," often fetching from one to more
car loads Of household goods, live stock,

Every one in Bismarck knew Julius
Stevens, the Industrious and unfortunate
young man who for several years has
sawed wood and done odd jobs about the
city, and who for the past year has owned
a dray. He was one of those unfortunate
beings whose minds are not considered
well balanced and who are made the butt
Of ridicule for the thoughtless, and it
might be added, heartless, crowd. Julius
was hard working fellow. and about
week ago he took contract to unload a
carload Of goods. While removing the
goods from the car he was ruptured, and it
was from the effect of this rupture that he
died yesterday afternoon. There is much
of pathos in the story of his life, now that
he is gone, for his was a career without
hope OF honor, or even the respect of the
common throng; life of patient, plodding,
unrewarded toll. and now that it is too
late to give himthe encouragement and hope
that respectful consideration impart, many
who have made him the victim Of their
jokes and pranks, Will have cause for seri-
GUS reflection.

THE COLD SHOULDER. r&
TORONTO, May 12-The city council met
this afternoon, when the renting of st.
Andrews hall for VIM. O'Brien's lecture
Tuesday was discussed. 1t was stated that
the council had information that trouble
would occur if O'Brien lectured in that
hall. All property owners!ln the locality
were afraid their property would be dam
aged. 1t was decided to refuse to allow the
hall to be used for the lecture. MIR. Multi
gan, president of the local branch of the
National league, who was present, inti-
mated that he would sue the city for dam
ages. He also stated that he had been re-
fused the use of the Toronto opera house,
the Princess street rink, the Shaw street
rink and the Pavilion music hall and no
hall in the city can be procured.
Major Howland sent the following reply
to O'Brien's telegram from Montreal last
night: @s.
cannot encourage you to come to Sat-
urday's meeting. You are misinformed as
to facts, as you have probably been as to
the sentiments Of our people here. The
meetings have not been called to demand
an official prohibition of your meetings,
but the opinion our citizens have been ex-
pressed as to the propriety of your coming
here. We understand your object in COM
ing is to attack the official acts of a man,
at present our guest, on personal grounds,
as to the truth which, as a mat
ter of fact, we neither can nor should
fair play will not Justify an attack on the @
public platform Of a gentleman, who, by
reason of the high;ofice which he holds, he
is not privileged to meet and answer his
accuser in a like manner. If you persist
in coming, I shall afford you the protection
which the law allows, but would advise
you to accept the decision of Saturdays
meeting, whicn, 1 believe, will represent
the true sentiment Of all classes in the,
city. w. A. ROWLAND,
Mayor of Toronto.

been disposed of he delivered an address
which was devoted largely to description
of the personal characteristics which had
brought success to Colonel Taylor, and he
then introduced that gentleman. Three
rousing cheers greeted the colonel as he
arose to respond. His remarks were ex-
pressive of his qualification at the many
marks of appreciation shown by his
friends. Chas. A. Dana then made a

O'Brien in Quebec.

QUEBEC, May 12.-In his speech here to-
night Mr. O'Brien said he had to express
his acknowledgement, not merely to his
friends, but to his opponents, for the cour-
tesy and fair play he has received. The
Irish people had not sought this quarrel
with Lord Lansdowne. He had himself
forced it by making himself the champion
and standard bearer of the worst and most
inhuman class Of rack-renters in Ireland.
[Hisses.] "The Montreal Herald of to-
day." he continued, "took position with
which did not for one moment quarrel,
that the Canadian people would not take
on the statement of others the assertion
that Lord LansdOwne was as black as he
was painted until the other side was heard
from. I invite and challenge Lord Lans-
downe to answer or dispute single fact
which the Herald says should not be taken
until he has had an opportunity of doing
this. The fact is that Lord Lansdawne's
trouble is not that he has been debarred
from defending himself, but the defense
which he has already offered is a weak
and misleading and lame defense. Re-
newed cheers.1 Not only has Lord Lands
downe literally ayailed himself of news
paper interviews III his own defense, but
his agent, one Of the most astute Of living
men, exhausted all the resources of his in
genuity through the Atlantic cable to OBJ
scure and prejudice the judgment of the
Canadian Public"

ST. PAUL, May 12.-The state supreme

The court holds that the original articles

right to carry on business under the plan
they pursued, that amended articles could
not ressurrect an old company and they
therefore have no bearing. The court dis
solves the company, making it illegal for
them to do business.
